| [primary leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery. apropos of a case]. | a case of leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery in a 64-year old man without previous cardiovascular disease is reported. the clinical picture, which comprised episodes of paroxysmal dyspnoea associated with acute cor pulmonale, suggested pulmonary embolism. radioisotope perfusion study and pulmonary angiography seemed to confirm this diagnosis, but no improvement was obtained with a prolonged thrombolytic treatment. the presence of a median mass at ct led to exploratory thoracotomy and to the ... | 1987 | 3122693 |
| in vitro analysis of t-cell-mediated immunity to intact eggs in murine experimental schistosoma japonicum infection. | to characterize the mechanisms of induction and regulation of the cell population involved in granuloma formation around eggs of schistosoma japonicum, we utilized a simple method of in vitro experiments. lyt1+2-t cells were essential for in vitro responses to the intact s. japonicum eggs, which were assumed to be comparable to in vivo granulomatous responses. t-cell responses seemed to be macrophage-dependent, and responding t cells produced il-2-like activities in the culture supernatant. sera ... | 1987 | 3127618 |

| can 111indium autologous mixed leucocyte scanning accurately assess disease extent and activity in crohn's disease? | 111indium autologous mixed leucocyte scanning has recently been used for the investigation of crohn's disease. nineteen patients had indium scans to assess disease extent and activity. the scans were compared with conventional imaging techniques and indices of disease activity including clinical scores, esr, crp, and gi protein loss. in five patients with active disease the scans were negative and overall there was poor correlation between the scan scores and the other indices of disease activit ... | 2011 | 3133287 |
| site of action of a gonococcal growth inhibitor produced by staphylococcus haemolyticus. | the inhibitory substance produced by staphylococcus haemolyticus strain no. 7 acts on growing as well as resting gonococcal cells, as shown by reductions in viable counts. the optical density of these cell suspensions was only slightly reduced. the inhibitor caused lysis of gonococcal spheroplasts at 24 degrees c and 37 degrees c, but was much less active at 4 degrees c. acting on intact gonococcal cells, the inhibitor caused a temperature-dependent release of radioactive cytoplasmic material. e ... | 1988 | 3134553 |

| the amino acid sequence of a gonococcal growth inhibitor from staphylococcus haemolyticus. | a gonococcal inhibitor produced by staphylococcus haemolyticus was separated into three components by reverse-phase h.p.l.c. the amino acid composition analysis of each of the three components indicated extensive similarities. n-terminal sequence analysis of all three components allowed the identification of the first 27-30 residues of each. the complete primary structure of each component was determined from the sequence analysis of trypic peptides and peptides generated by mild acid hydrolysis ... | 1988 | 3138972 |
| the venous hilum of the testis and epididymis: anatomic aspect. | the venous return from the testis is effected by 3 venous pathways: the pampiniform plexus gathrs the centripetal and centrifugal paths of the testis with the marginal vein of the epididymis; the deferential vein accompanies the ductus deferens; and the cremasteric vein travels more superficially between the internal and external spermatic fasciae on its way to the inferior epigastric vein. at the caudal pole of the testicle these different pathways form such close connections as to constitute a ... | 2011 | 3147537 |

| criteria that discriminate between native proteins and incorrectly folded models. | various theoretical concepts, such as free energy potentials, electrostatic interaction potentials, atomic packing, solvent-exposed surface, and surface charge distribution, were tested for their ability to discriminate between native proteins and misfolded protein models. misfolded models were constructed by introducing incorrect side chains onto polypeptide backbones: side chains of the alpha-helical hemerythrin were modeled on the beta-sheeted backbone of immunoglobulin vl domain, whereas tho ... | 2008 | 3186690 |
| suppression of the radiation-induced expression of a tumor-associated antigen in human cell hybrids by the protease inhibitor antipain. | the effect of the protease inhibitor antipain (1.25 micrograms/ml) on the radiation-induced expression of a tumor-associated antigen in human cell hybrids has been investigated. a variety of treatment protocols have been studied where antipain was present before, during and at various times post-irradiation. it was found that antipain suppressed the radiation-induced expression of the tumor-associated antigen in all treatment protocols. the most effective suppression was obtained in those protoc ... | 1988 | 3191580 |
| relationship of lateral eye movements recorded in the dark to verbal and spatial question types. | lateral eye movements (lems) were recorded in normal subjects to verbal and spatial questions in the dark using infra-red recording techniques to assess whether clearer lem-question type relationships are observed when the potentially confounding effects of visual stimulation are absent. verbal questions elicited more rightward lems than spatial questions. however, spatial questions were not associated with leftward lems. it is argued that while infra-red recording techniques may be optimal for ... | 2011 | 3194056 |
